FCIF says they may hire up to 500...

I have no idea how many they will hire. But if they stopped at 10 that would not technically be wrong.

With training two years away for some on the bid and negotiations going on, I am starting to think this bid is deliberately optimistic. The machinery does not yet seem to be spinning up for huge hiring. Maybe it will after the bid, and I hope it does. They will certainly need to hire some for retirements. However, I am not too warm and fuzzy there will be 500 new hires by July 2017. Hope I get to eat crow on that one...
